Just back from wiping/installing 8.10 (full) and trying to set up my static wired connections.

On the first attempt, I configured my connections and they were accepted without a "read-only" error. Couldn't get onto the internet though. Went back to check, and both connection definitions had vanished. Reconfigured them again and this time renamed them from "auto eth0" and "auto eth1" to "Wired Ethernet 1" and "Wired Ethernet 2". This time, they were stored and I could surf with Firefox. On reboot though, both the connections had disappeared again.
